Deathwatch: Scything Talons

Orpheus Salient

The foremost rimward of the three salients that comprise the battlefronts of the Achilus Crusade. With its headquarters in Hethgard, and a headstrong leader such as Lord General Curas, initial efforts in the Orpheus Salient looked like a definitive victory. When Hive Fleet Dagon arrived at 812.M41, it changed everything completely, turning the entire Salient into what may be developing into a full rout. Even Hethgard is not free from being besieged.
